“Wherefore gird up your procreative power of your mind with imagination, understanding and deep thought, be sober and hope to the end complete without wavering for the grace with divine influence, benefit and gratification that is to be brought unto you at the revelation with the appearing and disclosure of Jesus Christ.” Comment: Salvation and grace! You cannot have one without the other! All of our benefits are found within Jesus Christ! That is in relationship to him! Just like in a marriage! His love and power overshadow all of my sin! No one else can offer you eternal life! No one else can raise you from the dead! No one else can heal my soul, mind and body! He washes me white as snow! When Christ appeared unto me the door of grace was opened unto me! I did not deserve it but he gave it to me as a gift! The world always demands you earn what you get! However God earned this gift for you and paid the price for it! Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved! When Jesus found Peter the fisherman he was an emotional wreck! He pulled out a knife and whacked a guy’s ear off! When the rooster crowed thrice Peter had denied Jesus twice! At Jesus crucifixion Peter fled and went back to fishing! After his resurrection Jesus found Peter along the shore! Jesus told Peter I will make you fishers of men! Peter became the leader of the Jerusalem church! He was later martyred in Rome and asked to be crucified upside down not to be considered equal to Christ! Jesus told Peter upon this rock I will build my church! Centuries later Rome became the headquarters of the Christian Empire and Peter designated as the first Pope of Rome! After Peter got a revelation of Jesus Christ he became bold as a lion yet willing to suffer and sacrifice himself to further the Gospel! Without faith it is impossible to please God! Trust Christ whether in the palace or in the lion’s den! Your position right now will not determine your outcome! Your position in Christ will bring an outcome greater than anything you could ever achieve on your own! By grace you are saved and not of yourself! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
